Adaptive wavelet-based method for simulation of electronic circuits
For circuit designers and EDA tool developers, this offers an alternative simulation approach with adaptive refinement, though performance is only comparable to existing methods.
The paper presents an adaptive wavelet-based method for analog circuit simulation that meets or surpasses accuracy requirements and achieves performance close to classical time-domain methods, with potential for further improvement.
In this paper we present an algorithm for analog simulation of electronic circuits involving a spline Galerkin method with wavelet-based adaptive refinement. Numerical tests show that a first algorithm prototype, build within a productively used in-house circuit simulator, is completely able to meet and even surpass the accuracy requirements and has a performance close to classical time-domain simulation methods, with high potential for further improvement.
